Neoliberal politicians do have plans, but it is for the benefit of the rich.

Indeed, he’s an idiot.
People are afraid if he becomes prime minister. The thing is he’s a harmless idiot because he is all complain and rhetoric without offering any specific plan on how to implement what he wants. If what he wants happens, and then what? Should he come to power, it’s just going to be whatever the hell happens. His potential leadership will end up collapsing like the far right tenure in Sweden, Finland and The Netherlands. Farage never really have had any significant leadership experience, because he spent most of his career beating the drum but never leading the band.
But from my personal perspective, his premiership, if he does become PM and even if it fails, will set precedence and open the floodgate to a cleverer authoritarian demagogue that could plunge UK to a full fascism. I think most people are short sighted about the snowball effect of current actions.
Yes, but what they represent is what’s beautiful. Things do not need to be real to have inherent meaning.
I don’t like the guy, but indeed he is being taken out of context if you read the full interview. What Farage means is that Brexit is not happening the way he wants it to happen. He wants more trade deals, stricter immigration, and leaving the obligations from international rules like the ECHR.
The Wikipedia entry concerns the topic exclusively on Europe, for some reason, but paying someone to leave the country is called remigration.
It depends on how you phrase your thoughts. Also, sometimes you get too carried away and talk excessively and steal the spotlight from the person. It is important to have self-awareness to realise you’re talking too much and refocus the attention back to the person who need support.

For me, you can be rich and yet frugal, only spending money on the needs and occasional wants. Some people don’t even show that they’re net worth increased. I forgot the name of the person, but he worked as a janitor throughout his life. When he passed away, to his family’s utter surprise, he left $8 million from his investment account to his family. The guy could have cashed in the investment profits and lived lavishly but he didn’t.

That’s why it’s crucial to invest as early as possible. Investing outpaces the rate of inflation. I wish I had learned more about it when I was younger.

He travels the world and does photography. People who say they will be bored if they retire aren’t being creative enough to think of doing something else.

My old high school classmates and I have warm feeling whenever we bump into each each other. I am lucky that my home city is small enough, everyone practically knows each other, and have a strong sense of community. My high school also fostered that sense of community in my class, so I think it has been instilled and manifested among us.
So, the bigger reason, among many, why I moved out of town is more like I don’t want to see my college classmates lol. I only got along with certain people from my course. The only college mates I have still kept in touch with are two buddies from different courses.

I will have to respectfully disagree. Many people say the ending is a cliff hanger but I feel that it is open-ended. But i guess its phenomenal success was too good to pass up and decided to go for more seasons.
USA under Franklin Roosevelt was probably the only time the country was firmly at the highest peak of moral ground.
As for the rhetorical questions, you make it sound as though US fascists were in power to effect influence and policy change. They have been loud but never been influential enough. FDR have made sure of that.
And as for the nuclear bombs, what could have been the other option? Potential 500k-1 million American deaths on invading Japan? And let’s not even think about how many more Japanese civilians could have died since they were brainwashed to fight to the death.

I get that Trump made people feel special during campaign, but he’s a billionaire, why would people think he’s going to help the plebs? Is scapegoating minorities been addled too much into people’s brain that they forget they don’t like rich people? If you ask a lot of ordinary people, they don’t like the rich, but somehow they see Trump as the exception.

Sounds like Squid Game. I love the show, but selling merchandise, and going on to have more seasons and spin off defeats the point of the first season.

TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Death penalty for Indian man who burnt alive wife over skin colourEnglish5·3 days agoI skim read the article but I tried to look if the marriage is arranged although it did not mention it. Because I am thinking, if the man is not even attracted to the wife, why marry her? It is likely that their marriage was arranged.
